What Women Want From Men
Here's what women want from men
1. When we talk 'listen', it shows us that you care about our feelings.
2. Men should be smart enough and understand that not all our bad moods are connected to PMS-ing.
3. Guys, developing an EQ (Emotional quotient) would help. That however, does not mean that they need to cry at the drop of a hat, it just means you need to be more sensitive towards us.
4. With women communication is the key, so try and talk to us often.
5. Here are some traits we wish men would display – chivalry, making an extra effort with our friends and family, because we do the same!
6. Cook for us once in a while – this one may sound like a cliche, but we love surprises so an occasional effort wouldn't hurt, would it?
7. Your machoism is not directly proportional to the speed at which you drive your car. Rash driving is so uncool.
8. Be protective, not possessive, hear that?
9. We need our man to proclaim love all the time and we leave it to you as to how you wish to show it.
10. Remember the quickest way to lose a woman is to lie to her; so be honest.

How to schedule a post in Blogger
Here's a little tutorial on how to schedule a post in Blogger (Blogspot) for a specific time and day.
This is useful if you want a post to go live at a certain time but will not be available to hit the publish button yourself (such as if you want your Carnival post to go live just after midnight but you'll be asleep by then).
It can also help your blog maintain a businesslike image if you schedule all or certain important posts to go live at a predictable time each day or week (such as a giveaway linky that readers can count on to show up at 9:00 a.m. each Thursday, for example).
1. Click on "Post Options" at the bottom of the posting box.
You can click on any of these pictures to see them bigger.
Before you schedule, make sure your post is exactly the way you want it to go live. Use the "Preview" function that's next to "Edit HTML" at the top of this box.
If everything looks good? Then click "Post Options" to expand the drop-down options menu.
2. Click on "Scheduled At" to show the schedule box.
The default is "Automatic," which posts at the date and time you click "Publish Post."
However, you can choose your own posting date and time by clicking "Scheduled At." It will drop down a new box.
3. Fill in your preferred date and time.
To schedule a post, fill in the date and time you want your post to go live — for instance, 12:01 AM on the carnival day as a suggestion!
For U.S. English settings, at least, the formatting is "(M)M/DD/YY" for the date and "(H)H:MM AM/PM" for the time. (Note: The time zone is whatever your settings are set at. You can change the time zone at Settings --> Formatting --> Time Zone.)
Then click "Publish Post." Now your post is scheduled! It will go live at the time you scheduled.
4. Receive a confirmation that your post is scheduled.
Once you click "Publish Post," you will be rerouted to the "Edit Posts" page.
There will be a highlighted confirmation at the top telling you your post will be published at the date and time you specified. Check that it's correct.
In the list of posts, your scheduled post will have "scheduled" next to the date. Again, make sure the date is correct.
If you need to make changes, click on "Edit Post" and repeat the steps. Make sure to click "Publish Post" again if you want to reschedule. If you click "Save as Draft," it will unschedule your post and save it instead.
5. My version of Blogger looks different!
If you have an older version of Blogger, it will look something like this instead:
It's actually just as easy or even easier to schedule in the older version. Once you click on "Post Options," you'll automatically see the date and time boxes. Just fill in your preferred date and time and click "Publish Post" to schedule.
(Note: You can switch to the Updated Editor under Settings --> Basic --> Select post editor.)
Warnings about scheduling your post
- Be careful that your post is completely ready. Use the Preview function (at the top your post box next to "Edit HTML") to make sure everything will look the way you want it to when it goes live if you won't be around to check and make changes.
- If you want to edit your post in any way before the scheduled date, you must click "Publish Post" again when you're done to reschedule the publishing. If you change your mind and don't want it to publish automatically, however, you can click "Save as Draft" instead. That will switch it to the usual draft form.

How to add "Read More" jump tags in Blogger
My new favorite thing in Blogger? Adding "read more" tags to posts.
I'd seen this feature on WordPress and other blogs before but hadn't realized it was a Blogger feature, too.
I think it's been here for donkey's years, but I was slow to catch on to the benefits!
Here's a little tutorial that will explain "read more" links and let you know why and how you should add them!
If u ppl know this already u may skip this one...
I'd seen this feature on WordPress and other blogs before but hadn't realized it was a Blogger feature, too.
I think it's been here for donkey's years, but I was slow to catch on to the benefits!
Here's a little tutorial that will explain "read more" links and let you know why and how you should add them!
If u ppl know this already u may skip this one...
What's a "read more" tag?
The "read more" link is at the bottom of the post that's been truncated. When you click on it, it links to the original article URL plus the #more tag at the end.In this case, this link http://crajay.blogspot.com/2011/02/4-steps-to-increase-your-blog-traffic.html#more.
So if you're reading from a page and choose to "read more," you will get popped into the article at the point where you left off. On the other hand, if you click on the URL as a whole from another source (in a blog reader or from a Tweet, for instance), you'll see that the "more" tag is undetectable when the post is expanded.
Then it simply shows you the post as a whole, and the "more" coding is invisible.
Why do I want "read more" tags?
Scanning and searching is easier
The biggest reason is to make pages that encompass a lot of posts less cumbersome for readers to scroll through and find what they want. This is true for your home page as well as any category/label search pages.By contrast, I went to a label where I hadn't yet added jump tags, and only six posts loaded, in their entirety. That makes it a lot harder for readers looking for a particular article to comb through your category tags, particularly if you have a lot of articles shuffled into a particular category. They have to keep clicking on "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page, again and again and again, in the hopes of finding the one article they're looking for.
I was going to show you the difference between the two ("read more" tags vs. no "read more" tags), but I plan to change all mine over as I have time. The best method I can think of, if you don't have "read more" tags yourself and you're on Blogger, is to load your own homepage or a category page and see how clunky it is to wade through it all.
With the "read more" jump tags, however, I can keep each individual post down to a manageable excerpt size and therefore safely and conveniently show more total posts on a page at once, making it more likely that a visitor will see something enticing.
(Click on images to see them larger.)
It's easiest to do in "Compose" mode1, because there's a little icon right there to press! As you can see in the top row of this screenshot, the icon looks like a page that's been ripped in half, symbolizing that a portion of the post is before the jump and a portion after.
Once you click the icon, this gray-with-black-dotted line pops into your post to show you where the jump will fall. You can delete it or copy and paste it elsewhere if you change your mind.
Alternatively, if you're in Edit HTML mode1 (I tend to write in HTML view, so I think that's why I didn't notice the "read more" icon for so long!), you can type in the HTML code for a jump yourself:
<!--more-->
Just copy and paste that HTML coding tidbit wherever you want your jump link to appear.
To make things easier on me, I actually created a draft post with just that code in it that I saved with a date in the future so it's always at the top of my drafts list. Then, whenever I need the "read more" code, I can just open the draft and copy and paste. Another option I just thought of is to add it to your Post Template box, which makes things even easier in the long run as you're composing new posts in Edit HTML view. Simply go to Settings --> Formatting --> Post Template, paste it in and save your settings. I pasted in <br><br><br><br><!--more--> so it wouldn't be at the very top. Then the coding will show up in every new post — just make sure to move it where you want to before you publish a post!
I've heard that some older or nonstandard Blogger templates don't work automatically with the "read more" tags, so you might have to update or tweak your template in that case. My Hobo Mama template was automatically outfitted with the functionality and worked with no further fiddling on my part, but this template is not working. However, I want to upgrade my template here, anyway, so I'll deal with that later. If you're also having problems, let me know and I'll try to help you out!

More information, less space
The other benefit, and it's related, is that you can show highlights from more articles on a single page. For instance, I used to have to keep my Hobo Mama homepage at a maximum of four posts (under Settings --> Formatting --> "Show at most X posts on the main page"). My posts tend to be long and have a lot of images, so it took too long to load more than that and sometimes the multiple javascripts would interfere with certain browsers.With the "read more" jump tags, however, I can keep each individual post down to a manageable excerpt size and therefore safely and conveniently show more total posts on a page at once, making it more likely that a visitor will see something enticing.
How do I get me some of that sweet "read more" action?
So you're convinced! Now, how to add in those "read more" tags to your own posts? Fortunately, it's easy!
It's easiest to do in "Compose" mode1, because there's a little icon right there to press! As you can see in the top row of this screenshot, the icon looks like a page that's been ripped in half, symbolizing that a portion of the post is before the jump and a portion after.

Jump around!
A couple final notes:I've heard that some older or nonstandard Blogger templates don't work automatically with the "read more" tags, so you might have to update or tweak your template in that case. My Hobo Mama template was automatically outfitted with the functionality and worked with no further fiddling on my part, but this template is not working. However, I want to upgrade my template here, anyway, so I'll deal with that later. If you're also having problems, let me know and I'll try to help you out!
Since you can't conveniently add custom excerpts yet for articles in Blogger the way you can in WordPress, you might want to hone your skills at writing opening paragraphs that can function as an overarching preview for the article to come.
I know I'm guilty of rambling on for awhile at the beginning of my posts (it's fun!) before getting to the point. But if you know that your before-the-jump paragraphs are all readers will see to choose whether or not to click and read further, you might find yourself making sure those opening paragraphs are concise and tempting enough to lure readers in further.
Along the same lines, you might want any opening images to be pertinent, since whatever is up at the top is what will show. (Of course, you choose where the jump goes, so you can ultimately arrange it however you'd like!)
Rest assured, too, that anyone clicking on a URL from another source (such as Twitter or Facebook) or following your feed in a reader or email subscription will see the full post. These "read more" tags don't affect anyone clicking on a regular post link, only people browsing your home site or a category search page. To my point of view, those are exactly the times you want readers exposed to a wide variety of articles, so that's perfect for my needs.
If you want to make sure that the "read more" tag doesn't put extra spaces and line breaks into your post, simply don't add them in! You can smush the "read more" coding right up against any other words or html, without any extra spaces or line breaks around it, and the break will happen there as planned.
Enjoy your "read more" tags — your readers will!

How I doubled my followers on Twitter in 24hrs in 5 steps
Hey I can’t believe it either but I doubled the number of followers .I had on Twitter in 24hrs and then I looked back on that I did and had to share it with you. There are many methods to achieving this of course but I’m sharing what worked for me – moving from about 50 followers.1. I added by picture. Since opening a twitter account I’ve kept the area for the profile pic, generic and didn’t think much of it. I had read in an article that adding a picture makes you more human, clearly and it makes it easier for people to connect to you. I get that.
2. I doubled the number of people I was following. I love the direct connection I have to people who tweet great links to articles, webinars and other information. So I added quite a few more people and sites I wanted to get great tweets from – ranging from some more of my favourite bloggers, TV stations I watch, magazines I read and a number of wild cards too. The list was varied – Caribbean, American and European.
3. I started tweeting regularly and meaningfully. Sometimes we take for granted that because we know about a website, a trend, a product, a statistic that lots of other people do too. I’ve always loved connecting people to other people and useful information I know. I’ve been blogging for 5 years, but my Caribbean Technology Blog, SiliconCaribe.com is almost two years old – my niche is the global Caribbean Web – what Caribbean people and companies are doing online and also what kind of impact is everything else having on the Caribbean. Also when I tweet it’s also reflected immediately on my Facebook account on which I have just over 500 friends and business colleagues and clients. I tend to get lots of comments on the tweets I post there.
4. I became a member of groups on facebook and orkut: There again I found a new audience who found the links and information I was sharing as new and interesting, they became quick converts and therefore my followers.
5. I added my profile pic on twitterpic.com a site where you shares your photos on twitter.
I did all this while pulling all nighter. Literally by early morning my number of followers doubled.

The biggest issue I see across all my students is consistency and procrastination, if you want to make it in any business you got to actually start and then keep at it.
